11/24/13: The phrase 'use the gifts God gave you' gets thrown around the music industry a lot, but in the case of Sara Bareilles it's undoubtedly true. This talented songwriter and versatile pianist is one of the top superstars in the music industry, and she got there with no formal training.

How would you like to be 18 years old, leave home in pursuit of a career that can be completely unforgiving and still give it your all? Better yet, how would you like to be the one who comes out even stronger on the other side? Bareilles not only went to LA in search of a music career, she attended UCLA's Communications Studies program and did all she could to soak in the world around her.

Open mic nights were a stepping stone to demos, and demos a stepping stone to a full-length album. And by the time Bareilles was ready for her first label release in 2007 she quickly achieved mainstream success with the hit single, "Love Song." Not only did it reach the number one spot on the Billboard Pop 100, it was the catalyst to Bareilles rolling out songs like "King of Anything" and "Gonna Get Over You."

To date Bareilles has sold over one million records and over four million singles in the U.S. alone and has been nominated for three Grammy Awards. Her latest album, "The Blessed Unrest," was released on July 13, 2013. A live project, "Brave Enough: Live at the Variety Playhouse," bowed on October 22 after it was recorded at the Variety Playhouse in Atlanta, Georgia.
